Helleborus x hybridus

Gold Collection ex Waitrose. Expensive but irrestible!

A good strong pink and a nice one. Some of my pinks are quite 'muddy'.

Wow, it's stunning Ange..worth that bit extra.

It's a bright cherry, SBG. The flowers are possibly overlarge..

Glad you think so, Janey.

I think that’s the most gorgeous Hellebore I’ve ever seen. Great taste Ange!

Thank you, Sheila. I would like a clump of them!!

Perhaps it will give you babies?!

Fingers crossed. The ones you want to, never do!

I’m loving the strong colour on this one! I bought one today, the GC only had very pale coloured hellebores…bit disappointing re. The choices.

You’re so right Kate … disappointing colours but still £12.99! I wonder why? Perhaps the dull ones propagate more easily …

That’s true Ange - maybe for the same reason?

I have a rash of babies under some but nothing under others. I tried growing some seedlings on and they were all rather pallid. Having said that, I have a couple of gorgeous dark babies popping up this year in the border, so they will be grown on.

You could be right, Sheila. I noticed some larger ones were in the £30 - £40 bracket!

Good grief, that’s one optimistic seller!

I think we have to brace ourselves for big rises this year, ladies, don't you?
